@Steve Bullman Steve, Is there a way to search for threads started by specific people? I was looking for an old thread but couldn't remember what it was called, only who started it.

A quick and hopefully simple question about the new (well, not so new now) interface, please.

 

With the old interface the view I used most was the one which listed all the topics which had had new posts since my last visit, and which allowed me to go to the first unread post in each topic which interested me. It listed the title once and had the "got o first unread post" button by the topic.

 

I can't find an equivalent in the new interface, is there one?

 

I know that there is the "view unread posts" button, which I use, but I find it tiresome since it lists every new post, rather than just listing each topic once, so if, for example, there have bee 50 new posts in one particular topic that topic appears 50 times in the list. I find this so inconvenient that I have hardly visited Arbtalk since the change! I cannot believe that there isn't a way to get the equivalent of the old view, but I certainly can't find a way.

 

Help, please!

It's really annoying that every reply comes up and you have to keep scrolling down.  Can it be fixed?

It will be Graham, sorry.  Its a bug in the new version of the software and they are working on a patch.

You don't have to scroll down really , just click the one at the top of the list and you will get them all ......Similar to how it was .

What I meant was that all the individual replies fill the page rather than previously when there was only one notification for each topic.

That is exactly what I was getting at, I am glad that I am not the only one!

 

Looking at the bumph on the various "Invision" bulletin boards it looks as though there may be a fix for this now. 

 

Hopefully Steve "the Magician" will be able to sort it in due course. Fingers crossed!
